Residential Architecture & Master Planning
Available across India
We design residential spaces and master plans that keep cars away from daily life, connect people with nature, and use modular layouts for future growth.

Ultra-Luxury Private Estate Architecture
Concept & Volumetric Design
- Narrative-Driven Approach: Creation of a unique design concept derived from site features (e.g., hillside integration, courtyard focus) rather than standard templates.
- Volumetric Architecture: Design of double-height lobbies, skylights, and large-span structures to maximize natural light and spatial grandeur.
- Transition Spaces: Engineering of verandahs, decks, and pergolas to seamlessly blur the boundary between indoor living areas and the landscape.
Technical Detailing & Materiality
- Premium Material Palette: Selection and specification of high-end durable materials like exposed concrete, natural stone, and sustainable timber.
- Bespoke Elements: Detailed drawings for custom features such as spiral staircases, water bodies, and intricate facade screens.
- Sustainability Integration: Implementation of passive cooling techniques, rainwater harvesting, and solar orientation to minimize carbon footprint.
Execution & Coordination
- Vendor Integration: Technical coordination with vendors for automation, central HVAC, and glazing to ensure perfect fit-out within the architectural shell.
- Quality Supervision: Scheduled site visits by senior architects to ensure construction finishing matches the premium specifications.
High-Rise Group Housing Architecture
Core Design & Analysis
- Contextual Analysis: Study of wind patterns, solar paths, and topography to orient towers for reduced heat gain and optimal ventilation.
- Master Planning: Strategic massing to maximize FSI utilization while maintaining human-scale interactions at the ground level.
- Podium Integration: Design of elevated community zones connecting towers, including zoning for amenities and pedestrian-only walkways.
- Unit Efficiency: Layout planning for apartments (2BHK to 4BHK) focused on minimizing corridor wastage and ensuring cross-ventilation.
Technical Documentation
- BIM (Revit) Modeling: Development of the project at LOD 300 for precise clash detection between structural beams and MEP services.
- Statutory Compliance: Preparation of specific drawings required for MOEF, Fire, and RERA approvals.
- GFC Packages: Comprehensive Good for Construction drawings including facade glazing details, staircase sections, and flooring layouts.
Sustainability & Oversight
- Passive Strategies: Integration of architectural shading devices like fins and overhangs to lower operational AC loads.
- Milestone Supervision: 10 to 15 scheduled site visits during critical construction phases (plinth, podium, terrace) to verify design adherence.
Township Master Planning & Urban Design
Land Use & Zoning
- Contour-Responsive Layout: Master planning that utilizes existing terrain levels to minimize expensive cut-and-fill earthworks.
- Zone Allocation: Strategic distribution of residential clusters, commercial hubs, and green belts to maximize land value.
- Circulation Strategy: Design of a central pedestrian spine or green loop that segregates vehicular traffic from walking zones.
Infrastructure Strategy
- Micro-Climate Optimization: Orientation of building clusters to create wind tunnels for natural cooling and shaded community courtyards.
- Blue-Green Infrastructure: Integration of water bodies, rain gardens, and bioswales for flood resilience and on-site water harvesting.
- Phasing Roadmap: Development of a logical construction timeline (Phase 1, Phase 2) allowing for incremental development and sales.
Guidelines & Visualization
- Urban Design Guidelines: Creation of a rulebook for future construction (heights, setbacks, materials) to ensure visual cohesion over time.
- Concept Visualization: 3D walkthroughs and renders demonstrating the lifestyle and scale of the proposed township.
About Residential Architecture & Master Planning
Since 1989, we've been designing homes and communities that really work for people across India. For us, it all starts with listening - to what residents want, to the land, and to the bigger picture. We don't just put up buildings; we try to create places where everyday life feels connected and comfortable.
How We Plan Spaces
- People come first in every plan. We always try to keep cars separate from daily life. That means creating safe, vehicle-free residential environments with green podiums, parks, and spaces where you can stroll, kids play, and neighbours actually meet each other.
- Nature isn't just for looks. We weave green buffers, shaded walkways, and landscaped courtyards into our layouts. You get that nature-integrated living space vibe, plus a little more peace of mind.
- We think long-term. Our sustainable housing master plans use modular layouts and are ready for future changes or phased growth. We stick to green building ideas so what we make sticks around and stays useful.
What We’ve Done
We’ve built high-rise complexes and designed entire townships. Our Serein project, for example, linked 600 homes with one big urban park so everyone had a spot to unwind. When we plan a township, we look at the land itself - shaping everything from paths to play areas around its natural flow.

My Story
Started out in '89, and honestly, we’re more than just architects now – we’re Edificians. Our studio’s got its own vibe: there’s mentorship, loads of long chats, and yes, some marathon workdays. But we break it up with sports, festivals, and good food – Onam sadhya, Ganesh Chaturthi aarti, you name it. For us, work isn’t just about buildings, it’s about building our own tribe.
My Work
All-Round Design Services - We do Workplace, Healthcare, Residential, Hospitality, Retail, Cultural, and Urban projects. Pretty much everything.
Design That Listens - Every site’s got its own story. Like brick Jaali self-shading in Rajasthan, or keeping Vizag’s trees and slopes.
Rooted in Sustainability - Net-positive energy buildings aren’t just a buzzword for us. We use our own Design Sustainability Matrix to measure real impact.
Future-Ready Spaces - Universal grid planning lets us expand campuses in phases, so nothing gets stuck or disrupted.
Human-Centric Communities - Built a housing project with an elevated pedestrian park – it’s all about spaces for people to pause, meet, connect.
